A herniated disc can cause intercostal scapular girdle pain by compressing the spinal nerve roots at the root canal nerve outlet. Intercostal scapular pain is a clinical manifestation of thoracic disc herniation. Chronic spinal strain, injury and improper posture, forced position can trigger this disease; degeneration of the thoracic vertebrae is also one of the causes of this disease. What are the symptoms that are easily confused with it? 1, intercostal neuralgia, also known as intercostal neuritis, is a group of symptoms, refers to the thoracic nerve root (i.e. intercostal nerve) due to different causes of damage, such as: thoracic degeneration, thoracic tuberculosis, thoracic spine injury, thoracic dural spondylitis, tumors, ankylosing spondylitis and other diseases or rib, mediastinum, pleural lesions, intercostal nerve by the above-mentioned diseases generated by the compression, stimulation, inflammatory response, and the appearance of the chest intercostal or abdominal pain in the form of The syndrome of band-like pain in the chest or abdomen. 2. Pressure pain in the intercostal space is a clinical manifestation of intercostal neuralgia. In patients with intercostal neuralgia, physical examination reveals that there is obvious pressure pain in the paraspinal process and intercostal space of the thoracic spine; in typical patients with radicular intercostal neuralgia, the flexion test is positive; the distribution area of the affected nerve often shows neurological impairment such as sensory hypersensitivity or hypoesthesia. 3.costal pain There is a slight displacement of the back thoracic vertebrae corresponding to the rib cage, which causes the rib nerve to be stuck or adhered, and there will be pain. At the point of pain, there is a muscle injury that produces sterile inflammatory station to stimulate the rib nerve causing pain. 4.Right-sided rib pain syndrome Most often seen with young women, mostly in the 2-4 thoracic rib joints. It can be single or multiple. The cause is not very clear, and is related to trauma, so it is common in manual workers and gymnasts.
